If update on duplicate is set to true then the SDK is used to create a search using all of the information provided in the import for that particular sub location.

If update on duplicate is set to false then BulkDataLoader is used to:

  1. Attempt to find the Location using any Unique values contained in the import item. These include: SortName, IdNumber and EAddressName; and
  2. If unsuccessful, attempt to find the Location using a combination of Surname, Given Names, Initials and Date of Birth.
